That is a cool buck, I like the character and the Irony

Thanks. We really did have a great time. GroundPounders killed this bull the next day. I had him somewhere between 375-80. I heard he went quite a bit bigger.

For what it's worth I see suppressors down there all of the time. I know a lot of people take them with no consequences.

That will be awesome...I've always wanted a big ol moose

Yeah thats about close enough. those shoulders are tough. Very tough.

Super cool, wide buck. I am a sucker for wide bucks for sure. Every year it gets harder and harder to draw a decent tag and find a decent deer, way to get it done on that hunt.

Great bull! I love the bull and the character especially that 5th. So cool

Congrats Casey!

This 12x42 NLs can't be beat

That is a stud Coues, love the drop!!

I think it depends on what you want to kill. If you want to shoot a mature buck but are not picky about score I would just pack 12s. At most reasonable distances you can tell if it's a solid buck or not. If you are "trophy hunting and want to make sure you are shooting a 100" or better buck you will need a spotter. I ditched my 15s for 12s and I have never looked back. I would take 12s and a light weight spotter or just take 12s. That is my recommendation

Nice Job! looks like a good heavy buck.

Great buck, sorry about the way it happened.

That is a stud buck!!

Boy or boy! My #1 bucket item for many many years! I'm completely stoked for you! So cool.

This wall has been shown a few times on this website but it has evolved a little bit over the years. My first is the one right above the antelope. We sold the house and all the mounts in various forms of storage at this time...

I can't find my first one. But this is my first archery one.

Great buck and I like many others appreciate you taking the time to post a picture for us. I'm jealous!!

To be fair the pants are Kuiu, so there is that. Thanks everyone, It's still nice to share a pic or two, I just cant do other forms of social media much. I did learn to like everyone's comments though so maybe I am cut out for this social media hunting.

You aint a kidding. I used cameras as an excuse to go in the woods every couple of weeks. I haven't been once this summer. Partly because all I have going on, but partly because I don't have any cameras up. Its not worth it to me to have AZGFD looking at me, so I elected to not use them at all.

I'm sure sorry to hear, I've been married to the greatest women of my life for 22 years and your post reminded me to never take her or our great friendship lightly. I'll be thinking of you and wish you the best moving forward.

Yeah all the old timers up here are a little worried. I sure hope it continues.

Great season, great bucks and excellent write up and pictures. As usual thanks for contributing to this awesome site. Thanks!
